Interstate Commissioners.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Ex-Gov-
iernor Robinson, of Massachusetts was
at the White House to-day. 1t is
learned that he was offered place on the
Interstate Commission about two weeks
ago and declined by letter. The same
,offer was repeated to-day by the Presi-
dent in person and again declined. Ex-
Senator Thurman was also among the
Presidents callers to-day, and it is pre-
sumed that his visit has some connection
with the appointment of the commission
-ers.
Gov. Robinson told the President that
while he was sensible of the honor he
gould not accept the offer. because he
could not afford to leave his law practice.
So the President urged him no further.
Ex-senator Thurman is here on private
law business. He SAYS ne doesn't want
an Office, and hasn't been asked to take
one. He says he paid birthday visit to
President Cleveland to-day because he
likes him, and says that he is an honest
and capable President.

SILENT FOR A HUNDRED YEARS
A Field Piece of the Continental
Army Dug up in White Plains.
Fran The Ne,o York Sta

From The Nelo York Star.
An cid revolutionary cannon was dug
up Yesterday In White Plains which be-
longed 10 the Continental army that Gu
gagged the British on Chatterton Hill in
October, 1878. IL was found by some
wOrkmen who were digging cellar on
LOT belonging to Mr.. II. L. Dykman OH
Broad way ia that village. The gun was
about foot under the surface OF the
ground. II appeared TO be field
piece carrying twelve-p0und
ball. IL was surrounded by deeayed
wood, probably the gun carriage, and 1t
appeared to have been mounted oa a line
OF bresstworks pointing toward the
British line on the Bronx river. Where
tne gun lay the ground was lower than
the surrounding surface, indicating that
earthworks had been thrown up along
this ridge, with openings for the guns.
As there is a standing dispute between
historians about the existence OF this line
Of breastworks, the finding of this gun
would indicate that they did really ex-
ist.
Mr.. Dykman will mount the gun OPP
posite the lot on Broadway, VITA a suit
able inscription.
